DENVER, Colo., Oct. 31.-Colorado's
coal strike neared its zero hour to-
night with the I.W.W. leaders of the
walkout apparently divided on the
policy of continued picketing at the
mines in defiance of warnings from
the state and the threat of military
rule.
Half of the 30-hour stay granted by
Gov. W. Howard Adams to the strik-
ers to guarantee to him that picketing
would be discontinued had passed to
night, and the appearance of national
guardsmen into the situation appeared
imminent.
('oiflicting Views Expressed.
Conflicting views of the picketing
question were expressod by Byron
Kitio, aublicity agent for the I.W.W.
and Roger Francezom, leader of the
I.W.W. organization in the United
States. Kitio, who was arrested today
for picketing declared that picketing
would be maintained at any cost;
Francezom in an address to the min-.
ers at Walsenburg, asked that picket-
ing cease. Francezom's views were
upheld by a group of strikers meeting
at Walsenburg, who voted to comply=
with the governor's request by a vote

AFTER [LAY OFTO

IWAS APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT
LITTLE DURING RECENT
TRIP TO EUROPE ,
HEADS RhETORIC DIVISION
State Department Refused Admission
On Basis Of Not Holding Same
Position In England
Prof. P. M. Jack, newly appointed
head of the rhetoric department and
formerly professor of English at Ab-
erdeen university of Aberdeen, S'cot-
land,, arrived in Ann Arbor at 4 o'-
clock yesterday afternoon after a de-
lay of more than two months due to
the technicalities of the immigration
regulations. Professor Jack was ap-
pointed to his post here last summer
by President Clarence Cook Little,
while the President was abroad, and
was to have assumed his duties here
with the opening of school this fall.
When he applied for admission, how-
ever, technical difficulties arose due
to the ruling of the law that no one
can be allowed entry for the practice
of a profession unless he has been
engaged in the practice of that pro-
fession for at least two years previous
'to his, application for admission. Pro-
fessor ,JWkfailed to qualify for ad-
mission as a teacher under this regu-
lation because for a portion of the
last two years he was on leave of ab-
sence from Aberdeen university for
the purpose of continuing his studies
l at Cambridge university, England. Ac-
I cording to the technical ruling he lost
11i1~ stal'l, as a professor wen 711

When notified of this difficulty, the
University authorities here tookup
7e case with the State deparment at
Washington, attempting to influence
the higher authorities to rescind the
ruling of the consul abroad. The ap-
peal availed nothing, however, since
in a communication to Dr. Frank Rob-
bins, assistant to the President, the
decision of the agent abroad was up-
held and the refusal to admit Pro-
fessor Jack was continued on the
grounds that he had not been engaged
i1 the teaching profession for a suf-
firient neriod before his application
for entry.
Further correspondence was carried
on by the office of the President he e
t ith2 authorities abroad, however, and
it was ascertained in a letter from C.
A. Chase, senior tutor of Trinity Gol-
lege, Cambridge university, that Pro-
fessor Jack was actually engaged in
instructing advanced studnts while
in attendance at Cambridge and work-
ing toward his own Ph. D. degree.
Other letters from faculty members
of both Cambridge and Aberdeen uni-
versities indicated that though study-
ing, Professor Jack was merely o
leave of absence from his teaching
work, and not actually resigned from
it. On the basis of this evidence, Dr.
Frank Robbins prepared to make a
trip to Washington, D. C., to inter-
view personally that higher officials in
the State department there, but be-
fore he had a chance to nake the trip
new information .caused him to aban-
don it.
This new information was to the ef-
fect that though Professor Jack could
not he admitted as 'a permanent resi-
dent, he could come as a visitor for
the period of a year, and as soon as
the information was received, Profes-
sor Jack sailed from England, on Oct,
21, and arived here yesterday.
To Seek Legal Residence

It is quite possible that an effort
will be made during his year of resi-
dence here, both by the University
authorities and by Professor Jack
himself, to secure an alteration of tho
ruling of the State department, though
for the present he is not a legal resi-
dent of the United States.
The previous correspondence with
the Stake department has all been
with Wilber Carr, acting secretary of
state at the time. Secreary Kellogg
has since returned to Washington and
taken charge of the department.
Professor Jack will have charge of
the work of the rhetoric department
here, and spent the remainder of the
day yesterday, after his arrival, in
meeting the various professors of the
rhetoric faculty. He was the guest of
Prof. Thomas Rankin, for 22 years a
member of .the faculty here and na-
tionally prominent rhetorician, at a
